中電:若能源價格回落情況持續 未來數月本港電力燃料費或可下調
中電控股(00002.HK)去年香港售電量按年下跌1.5%,旗下中華電力總裁蔣東強在記者會上表示,今年隨著本港經濟復甦,估計售電量或可錄得輕微上升,但仍需視乎經濟恢復的步伐、疫情影響及天氣等因素而定。
他指出,受俄烏局勢影響,去年第一季國際油價及煤價升幅驚人,但近期油價已由較高位回落,目前處相對平穩水平,最近數周的煤價亦明顯回落,若有關情況持續,預期未來數月本港電力燃料費或有可能下調。不過,蔣東強料國際能源價格將持續波動,短期未必可重回以往的低水平,而集團過去在成本控制上進行了很多工作,才可令香港基本電價連續三年持續同一水平。
他又稱,集團會與香港政府商討明年至2028年的五年發展計劃,未來於發電上的投資主要是支持政府長遠減碳目標。由於本地缺乏可再生能源,相信有需要與區域合作引入潔淨能源,包括太陽能及風電等都會考慮,但仍要與相關持份者作出討論。他認為引入可再生能源能減低國際化石燃料價格波動的影響,且潔淨能源的資產周期較長,攤長計算對電價的影響會比較輕微。
另外,集團去年澳洲業務虧損擴大,對於未來業務前景展望,中電首席執行官藍凌志坦言澳洲業務是重要部分,可令集團投資組合多元,但由於當地批發電價仍然高企,項目老舊機組亦需置換,預期業務於今年上半年仍需時改善。他指集團對澳洲業務尋求合作夥伴持開放態度,無論公司或項目層面上的合作都可考慮。
